Atlas Venture invests primarily in early stage technology and life sciences businesses in the U.S. and Europe.

We invest more than capital we also invest our time, expertise, and network in our portfolio companies. Venture capital for us is not just about investing in the right companies. It is about partnering with entrepreneurs to make their companies successful.

We bring decades of collective experience transforming new ideas into high-growth global businesses. Since we started in 1980, our Partners have helped build over 300 companies in more than 16 different countries. Since 1995, more than 50 of our companies have been acquired and more than 45 have gone public, with an aggregate market capitalization in excess of $15 billion. We are currently investing from our seventh fund and manage over $2 billion in capital.
